Support the Coalition's Work

If we are to solve the greatest problems of the 21st century—we must end our elected officials’ dependencies on special interests. Public campaign financing is a proven way to create a cleaner, more accessible system of elections in North Carolina. With your financial support, we can expand these programs and continue to make our state election process work better for average voters and the public interest.

North Carolina Voters for Clean Elections is a not-for-profit corporation. It neither supports nor opposes political candidates. However, because we are a 501(c)4, contributions are not tax deductible, but still worth making.

As more money floods into state politics, it's important for North Carolina citizens to know who is trying to influence their elections. Electronic filing brings North Carolina into the 21st century by replacing costly, wasteful and cumbersome paper reports with more efficient, accurate and speedy disclosure.

This is a big win for transparency and the public's right to know about who is spending money on their elections! We are encouraged by the bipartisan support for making sure the public has timely and accurate information about election spending in North Carolina.

The North Carolina General Assembly has two bills which have passed the state House and are alive in the Senate for consideration in the 2014 short session. Both bills currently reside in the Committee of Rules and Operations in the state Senate.

House Bill 918 would require the initial filing for outside groups within 48 hours of spending its first $1,000 and additional reports within two days for every $5,000 spent or received.

In a ruling released this week, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the overall contribution limit to federal candidates, political parties, and political action committees (PACs). The McCutcheon v. FEC ruling increases the role wealthy individuals play in financing federal elections.

Voter-Owned Elections provide a way for citizens without access to big donor networks to become elected officials. This proven alternative to our current big money system also reduces special interest influence on elections and policies.
